Abstract (en)

A surface acoustic wave is excited from an excitation element (2,32) disposed on a substrate (1,31), the surface acoustic wave propagated on the substrate is received by a receiving element (3,33) positioned on the substrate so as to face the excitation element, and the position of an object touching the substrate is detected based on the reception result. The wave number of a burst wave applied to excite the excitation element (2,32) is made equal to the number of the comb-like electrode fingers of an inter digital transducer of the excitation element, thereby achieving highly accurate detection and high time resolution. <IMAGE>
